Marriage - BEF 1065

1. Gytha

NOTES: Harold was about 45 years old at his death. William is said to have had his body buried on the sea shore, but there is a tradition that Harold's mistress Edith Swan-neck sought it out and took it to Waltham Abbey for burial. Harold had lived happily with Edith for many years and she had borne him many children, including a daughter Gytha, named after Harold's mother, who was to seek refuge abroad after the Conquest and eventually to marry Vladimir Monomakh, Grand Duke of Kiev. In 1065 Harold married Ealdgyth, the widow of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, King of Gwynedd and Powys, and dau of Alfgar, Earl of Mercia. She bore him at least one son, Harold, whose fate is unknown. There is much confusion between Ealdgyth and Edith Swan-neck. With such spelling, is there any wonder?
